What is the meaning of "va'Yisnabei"?

1.

Targum Yonasan: V'Ishtatei. Rashi - A Navi and a lunatic speak words of hints that are not recognized. Radak - he spoke inane words.

2.

Malbim: The reflexive of this verb always refers to prophecy that is not complete. The reflexive often refers to an illusory action. 1 Or, it refers to habit and training - "Es ha'Elokim His'halech Noach" (Bereishis 6:9). This form is used for Bnei (people training to be) Nevi'im - "Eldad u'Meidad Misnab'im" (Bamidbar 11:27), i.e. they are training for Nevu'ah. For absolute prophecy, a Kaved (Pi'el) or Nif'al conjugation is used. Amidst Shmuel's madness, he was like one who predicts the future, that David will take his kingship.
